Topic: ?/ 3d formats...

[ryguy_1617]

Umm, so since blender can convert to crystalspace format, would it be ok to convert my .max files to blender, then use blender to change them to the appropriate format  (since I completely dislike blender's interface)?  Or is there a catch with that...?

There is a catch. Materials in 3DS might not transfer over correctly. Actually, anything other than a UV material won't transfer to CS. It's how CS works; everything is done with UV Mapping. (That's pretty standard in games, honesly). I don't know how well the transfer process would work... do it, send me the blender file, and I'll convert it to CS, and see how it looks.

Well, I will send whitelynx your way, since he's the one who's done most of the texturing in blender (he loves the program).

k, sounds good

[ryguy_1617]

..would things made in 3ds max work if they have a UVW map, or is it only UV?

[Morgul]

Can't say. I really don't know.
